No, its the other way around. WinAVR is a Windows bundled install of
avr-gcc and other essentials for AVR development. Some is GUI, some is
not. None of it is really an IDE. GCC does not come with WinAVR, WinAVR
comes with avr-gcc.

In addition the fact one is on Windows one should also install Atmel's
free tools, AVR Studio. AVR Studio is an IDE but avr-gcc support from
within is still early.

ECROS Ice-cube at $40 is a very good JTAG-ICE. I find the $2.95 12"
extension cable to be of great use.

BDMicro MAVRIC boards are also very useful for prototyping:
